Under Way
Milwaukee Quits North of Town
The grading work on both tbe Great
Northern and Milwaukee linescontiuues
along the surveys south of Cboteau.
Both tho Galusha aud the Frazier construction crews are busy. Work bas
ceased for the present on the Hodgskiss
sub-tract for the Milwaukee immediat-
ly north of Choteau, where freezing seriously interfered. Tho cold snap which
set in last night may possible stop all
work temporarily, though there is no
such announcement from official
sources.
High School Worsted'
In a very snappy game of basketball
at the high school auditorium Monday
evening between a team made up mostly of high school players and another
team composed of college students who
are at home here for the holidays, the
bigh-schoolers had tbe worst of it by a
uonsiderablo margin. It. should be sa'd
in their behalf, however, that Parker,
one of their forwards, wns absent, his
place beiug taken by Cowgill, of the
college bunch, and that the positions of
their players were so changed that team
work was impossible In individual
skill and buskiuess, the collegians outpointed the high school boys.
Cows and Hens Pay
The last report of Secretary Wilson as
bead of tbe Department of Agriculture,
which covers the achievements of sixteen years, the time "Tama Jim" has
eorved as chief of this great branch of
the government service, is crowded with
interesting facts and shows what a
marvelous growth the country has had
since Mr. Wilsoo camo tothe cbiefship
of tbe department. Tbe dairv cow is
one of the of the principal producers of
wealth on the farm and the value of her
products in 1912 is estimated at about
•J!8.-i!0.000,OCO, an amount wuicu exceeds
tbe "value of the, cotton, lint and is nearly equal lo tbo combined value of lint
and seed.
Tbe lowly ben is another of the wonderful producers, it heing estimated tbat
she laid during the year 1912,1,700,000,-
000 dozen eggs and if an egg is only
worth a cont and three quarters it gives
the tidy sum of $357,000,000, and if this
ts added to the value of the fowls raised,
the products of tbe poultry industry on
farms amounts to about 3570,000,000.
This nearly equals the value of the
wheat crop.
The animals sold from the farm and
tbo animals slaughtered on it together
number about 111,000,000, and tho farm
value of these animals is estimated at
$1,930,01)0,000.
Most productive of all agricultural
years in tbis country has been 1912,
declares tbe report. Tbe earth bas
produced its ureatest annual dividend. Tbe suu and the rain ana
the fertility of the soil paid uo heed to
human controversies, but kept on wonting in co operation witb the farmers'efforts to utilize them. The reward is a
high general level of production. The
man behind tho plow hns tilled the Nation's larder, crammed the storehouse,
and will send liberal supplies to foreign
countries.

If the aims of the Standard Oil company are realized it will not be a great
while before a big oil Held will be developed in Montana. Oil is known to
exist in Teton couniy and many efforts
have been made in the past to penetrate
to tbe true oil sands, bul lack of financial support has delayed tbe introduction of tbis ii6w field to the >vorld, according to the Helena Independent.
But now that the Standard Oil com
pany has tackled the proposition there
is no doubt of the success of the enterprise.
Orders to sink until they strike a
ilowing well have beeu issued to representatives of the Standard Oil company
now in the Teton county oil tields, where
oil bas been struck in several places in
wells that could not be pumped.
As sea level is at 3,300 feet and one
well has attained a depth of 1.800, no
great period may elapse before the object is attained. Situated about 30
miles south of tbe Lethbridge coal lields,
the prospect of striking a flowing well
seems favorable.
The insurance of orders to sink followed a comprehensive examination of
the field by a California engineer. The
examination was facilitated by Iho large
number of holes for tests with which
the property of the Standard crowd had
been punctured, probably 80 in all, with
20 mure sunk Dy other corporations.
Tbe depths of these wells range from
100 to 1,800 feet, and while silence has
been maintained as to results of the
tests the discovery of oil in some of
these holes has been indicated.
Tho engineer has staged the territory
has given unusual promise for the brief
period of its development.

havo been under trial in the federal
court at Indianapolis for the past three
months were acquitted. Thirty-eight
wore fouud guilty by the jury. Thirtj-
three of these were seutonced Monday
by Federal Judge Anderson. The sentences range from one to seven years.
Six of the convicted men received their
liberty on suspended sentences. Frank
M. Ryan, former presidont of International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, got the longest term.
Most of the convicted mon wero officers
or members of this association.
Tho v'hargo ageinst the men was conveying explosives from one state to another, though tho presiding judge in
passing sentence asserted that the evidence showed the men guilty of murder.
Appeals will probably be taken. Considering that a sontonco of thirty-nine
years might have been imposed, the sentences aro surprisingly light.
